By mid-morning on Friday, the Seattle-based coffee company reversed its decision and announced its support of Black Lives Matter.
"Our partners (employees) told us that they need a way to express themselves at work and we heard them," Starbucks tweeted on Friday. "They may now wear Black Lives Matter t-shirts, pins and name tags."
The nation has seen more than two weeks of sweeping protests in support of Black Lives Matter following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of a white police officer who kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes as he pleaded "I can't breathe."
In a company statement, Starbucks said it's always stood with the crusade against racism — but didn't mention the memo telling employees not to voice backing for Black Lives Matter.
"We will not be bystanders. This has never been more true than today," according to the statement. "We see you. We hear you. Black Lives Matter. That is a fact and will never change."
The company said it's designing its own version of Black Lives matter t-shirts that would arriving in stores shortly for employees to wear.
"Until these arrive, we’ve heard you want to show your support, so just be you," the Starbucks statement said.

The Trump campaign has officially announced that the Republican National Convention will be moved to the great city of Jacksonville!
Florida, of course, will be a highly competitive battleground in November.
By moving the convention to Florida, the Trump campaign is flexing its muscle and showing that it is playing to win every swing state and every battleground.
The Republican National Convention was originally slated to be held in North Carolina.
However, Democratic leadership in North Carolina have kept implementing strict social distancing precautions due to COVID-19.
It would have made such a convention nearly impossible to hold… or tiny, at the very best.
In Jacksonville, Florida, Trump will host a signature massive-campaign-style rally for his acceptance speech.
Ronna McDaniel, the GOP Chairwoman, was the first to break the news on Twitter:

welovetrump--2020-06-13--According to the Left, Speech and Silence Are Both Violence

The phrase you ’ re hearing today from the Left is ‘ Silence is Violence.
” This short , pithy sentence is on t-shirts , on social media , and , if you live in one of America ’ s major cities , you might be lucky enough to have it screamed in your face by a college student with a degree in Lesbian Dance Theory .
But what does it mean ?
Upon closer examination , these words are referring to George Floyd ’ s death , and , more broadly , claims of systemic racism ( another fun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American justice system .
According to Dr. Reeda Walker ( who is a University of Houston professor , clinical psychologist , and someone who knows exactly what you ought to do with your freedom of speech even better than you do ! )
, everyone is obligated not to be silent .
In fact , according to her interview with the Houston Chronicle , we ’ re all obligated to call out racism whenever and wherever we see it .
Leaving aside the implicit racism in assigning a problem to someone of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , Walker is basically correct here .
All of us have a duty to call out racism , because racism is wrong in all shapes and sizes .
Here ’ s another example from the world of sports : The Players ’ Tribune has a compelling article detailing exactly why a majority must stand against racism in order to truly make progress against one of the world ’ s most devestating evils : Unfortunately , this logic is stretched even further by self-proclaimed ‘ White Allies ’ who seek to leverage their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other white people for complicity in systemic racism .
This problematic worldview is referenced by Counterpunch , which ( fittingly ) describes itself as a publication with ‘ Fearless Muckraking Since 1993 ’ .
Racism exists , and it is a white problem .
Therefore , a more honest and accurate way to talk about racism –which requires both prejudice and systemic or institutional power over others– is to call it what it is : white supremacy .
White supremacy is a system of exploitation and oppression of people of color by white @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system of wealth , power , and privilege for white people .
We have to acknowledge openly that white supremacy exists in America .
And white privilege exists .
We all need to be able to recognize both to do anything about them , and unless we are actively using our white privilege to dismantle white supremacy , we are complicit in its preservation .
White people need to use their white privilege to talk to others about white privilege and white supremacy .
If you ’ re uncomfortable , that ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it makes people who benefit from white supremacy complacent in the status quo .
Invisibility gives white supremacy power .
Call it out .
Use white privilege to interrupt white supremacy ; to dismantle white supremacy ; to take a back seat and support others who have been oppressed by white supremacy – to give those who have been oppressed by white supremacy opportunities they have been denied , and to learn from those who have been oppressed by white supremacy .
And use your privilege to listen .
America has a system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for , centering , and hearing white voices above others and it is time for us to be quiet and really listen .
That is muck : sheer , unadulterated garbage for the sake of assigning blame for the racism in 1865 or 1964 to every American , today , in 2020 .
That is patently stupid .
The pièce de résistance of this “ article ” comes in the form of a call to action : As a white person , I recognize that I need to do something instead of stepping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is wrong , and it is exactly what white supremacy depends on white people to continue to do .
I am stepping up as an ally and accomplice right now because it is the right thing to do , and you should too .
There you have it .
White silence on the issue of racism is violence .
It ’ s not enough that literally all of America agrees that racism is wrong .
It ’ s not enough that literally all of America agrees that there should be equal opportunity for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there has been since redlining was made illegal in the 1980s ) .
It ’ s not enough to simply not be racist .
You either look in your closet and find the mysterious bogeyman of systemic racism and white supremacy , or you ’ re no better than a plantation owner in 1830 .

The phrase you’re hearing today from the Left is ‘Silence is Violence.”
This short, pithy sentence is on t-shirts, on social media, and, if you live in one of America’s major cities, you might be lucky enough to have it screamed in your face by a college student with a degree in Lesbian Dance Theory.
But what does it mean?
Upon closer examination, these words are referring to George Floyd’s death, and, more broadly, claims of systemic racism (another fun catchphrase often bandied about) within the American justice system.
According to Dr. Reeda Walker (who is a University of Houston professor, clinical psychologist, and someone who knows exactly what you ought to do with your freedom of speech even better than you do!), everyone is obligated not to be silent. In fact, according to her interview with the Houston Chronicle, we’re all obligated to call out racism whenever and wherever we see it.
“Racism isn’t a black problem. It’s a white problem, and their silence is violence,” Steinwender said. “But it’ll take white people to call out other white people for real change. When black people speak their truth, we are called angry or accused of using the race card. We are looking for white people to speak out.”
Leaving aside the implicit racism in assigning a problem to someone of a particular race (‘white people’), Walker is basically correct here. All of us have a duty to call out racism, because racism is wrong in all shapes and sizes.
Here’s another example from the world of sports: The Players’ Tribune has a compelling article detailing exactly why a majority must stand against racism in order to truly make progress against one of the world’s most devestating evils:
But what will really help our voices be heard, what will truly make a difference, will be when the majority stands with us and loudly acknowledges our suffering and its support for progress.
Unfortunately, this logic is stretched even further by self-proclaimed ‘White Allies’ who seek to leverage their ‘White Privilege’ to call out other white people for complicity in systemic racism.
This problematic worldview is referenced by Counterpunch, which (fittingly) describes itself as a publication with ‘Fearless Muckraking Since 1993’.
Racism exists, and it is a white problem. Therefore, a more honest and accurate way to talk about racism –which requires both prejudice and systemic or institutional power over others– is to call it what it is: white supremacy. White supremacy is a system of exploitation and oppression of people of color by white people for the purpose of maintaining a system of wealth, power, and privilege for white people. We have to acknowledge openly that white supremacy exists in America. And white privilege exists. We all need to be able to recognize both to do anything about them, and unless we are actively using our white privilege to dismantle white supremacy, we are complicit in its preservation. White people need to use their white privilege to talk to others about white privilege and white supremacy. If you’re uncomfortable, that’s good. Comfort sustains white supremacy because it makes people who benefit from white supremacy complacent in the status quo. Invisibility gives white supremacy power. Call it out. Use white privilege to interrupt white supremacy; to dismantle white supremacy; to take a back seat and support others who have been oppressed by white supremacy – to give those who have been oppressed by white supremacy opportunities they have been denied, and to learn from those who have been oppressed by white supremacy.

America has a system that has been built around making space for, centering, and hearing white voices above others and it is time for us to be quiet and really listen.

welovetrump--2020-06-13--Starbucks Bans Black Lives Matter Apparel for Employees, Then Does a Complete 180 After Backlash

It ’ s sad to see that such a radical movement has a stranglehold on America ’ s businesses .
If they don ’ t tow the line , they ’ ll feel the wrath .
In fact , Fox News reports a sandwich shop in California was forced to close after the owner refused to support Black Lives Matter : A sandwich shop in Davis , Calif. , has closed after the franchise owner made a statement likening the Black Lives Matter organization — an anti-racism advocacy group — to the Ku Klux Klan .
Mickey Mann , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Sandwich Shop , had his store shut down by corporate after an email he sent to his staff was re-shared to social media .
As seen on Twitter , Mann 's aggressive email begins by warning his staff that the turmoil in the store “ will not be resolved to your liking.
” Wendy Weitzel of the Davis Enterprise reported that Mann wrote the email after an employee wore a Black Lives Matter pin to work , bringing politics into the store .
The letter then goes on to emphasize that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — which he both underlines and highlights in red .
“ I never have and I never will .
You do not have arguments that can change my mind , ” the man writes .
Later in the letter , he claims his staff is trying to “ force and are continuing to try to force your beliefs on me ” before stating “ the BLM is the flip side of the KKK.
” “ Their tactics are out of the Mafia play book .
They are no better that [ sic ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world , ” the man continued without explanation .
The lengthy letter went on to accuse more of his staff of bullying him and “ attempted oppression ” with support of the Black Lives Matter movement .
The owner accused his employees of “ libel , slander and threats ” and said the Police Department had been alerted of the events .
According to Weitzel , Mann called police , claiming he was concerned his business would be vandalized by protestors .
To close out the email , Mann stated he had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ designed to bend me to your will .
I have no fear of any or all of your quitting .
We started the store with zero employees , so if necessary , we will rebuild from zero again.
” He did not state whether he was concerned about his store being closed .
To end the email , Mann put it to his employees that there will be “ no pins , no [ tip ] jars , no discussion of BLM in my store , ” and those who “ stay on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gratitude for my capitulation that you achieved .
”

It was a surprising position for such a liberal company to take.
Previously, this is the company that promoted bringing refugees in the country, enacting gun control, and who’s founder openly endorsed Hillary Clinton.
We’re talking about Starbucks of course.
This month, however, the company explicitly stated that employees would not be allowed to don Black Lives Matter apparel because of its “political” nature.
Here’s the details from Buzzfeed on Starbuck’s ban:
As protesters took to the streets in hundreds of cities across the United States and the globe to support Black Lives Matter and decry police brutality, Starbucks, like many major American companies, rushed to publicly proclaim its support for the movement and pledged to do more to combat racial injustice. On June 1, the coffee retailer vowed on Twitter to “stand in solidarity with our Black partners, customers and communities.” A few days later, it tweeted, and then pinned, a more in-depth commitment to supporting Black Lives Matter and confronting bias and racism and to “being a part of change.” Being part of that change does not extend, however, to allowing the company’s baristas and other employees to wear T-shirts, pins, or any other accessory that mentions Black Lives Matter. In fact, the company explicitly stated that Black Lives Matter attire was prohibited from the lists of things employees can wear due to its dress code policy, which also includes any type of political, religious, or personal accessories or clothing. However, as many employees noted to BuzzFeed News, Starbucks not only exempts buttons and attire celebrating LGBTQ rights and marriage equality, but hands them out. According to an internal bulletin obtained by BuzzFeed News, store managers had been contacting senior leadership on behalf of employees who wanted to wear BLM-related attire as protests continued to sweep major cities and small towns across the country. In response, management, according to the memo from last week, argued that wearing clothing and accessories highlighting Black Lives Matter could be misunderstood and potentially incite violence. The bulletin pointed employees to a video, which has now been removed, in which its VP of inclusion and diversity explained that “agitators who misconstrue the fundamental principles” of the movement and could use them to “amplify divisiveness.”
Don’t hold your breath though.
After the left through a tamper-tantrum over Starbucks policy, the company did a complete 180.
Now, they’ll actually be producing Black Lives Matter T-shirts!

welovetrump--2020-06-13--McEnany: If It’s Safe Enough to Protest, It’s Safe Enough to Vote In Person

McEnany 's comments come just hours after Biden claimed that Trump will try to `` steal the election . ''
After 3 years of investigating Russia , there was never any evidence of alleged Trump-Russia collusion .
Yet Biden is pushing this narrative 5 months before a single ballot is cast .
Furthermore , in-person voting with voter ID would MINIMIZE the risk of any voter fraud .
Compare this to mail-in ballots or ballot harvesting , which have inherent security risks .
Former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden issued a stark warning to voters about President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ limit access to voting in November .
“ This president 's going to try to steal this election , ” Biden said in an interview with `` The Daily Show with Trevor Noah '' Wednesday night .
The comments came after the host asked Biden about the recent Georgia primary election which resulted in long lines for voters after issues with both in-person voting and vote by mail requests .
Biden said access to voting was his “ single greatest concern , ” and was critical of Trump ’ s efforts to discredit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ method of voting the president himself had used .
“ This is a guy who said that all mail-in ballots are fraudulent , voting by mail , while he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office and writes his mail-in ballot to vote in the primary , ” Biden said .
While Biden had previously suggested Trump might attempt to delay the general election , the comments from Biden articulate the most direct warning from the former vice president as the campaign continues to ramp up ahead of November .
The Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ host that he is “ absolutely convinced ” that the military will `` escort '' President Trump from the White House if he refuses to leave , alluding to the recent scathing criticism of the commander-in-chief from top former military officials like former Defense Secretary James Mattis and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly .
“ You have four chiefs of staff coming out and ripping the skin off of Trump , and so many rank-and-file military personnel saying , ‘ Whoa , we 're not a military state .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promise you , I 'm absolutely convinced they will escort him from the White House with great dispatch , ” Biden said .
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany dismissed Biden ’ s comments that President Trump would have to be escorted from the White House if he loses in November .
“ I think that 's a ridiculous proposition .
This president is looking forward to November , this president is hard at work for the American people .
Leave it to Democrats to go out there and grandstand and level these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News Thursday morning .
The American people do not appreciate conspiracy theories .
They want the truth .
They want facts .
Biden 's comments and accusations will not be accepted by voters .
Trump has an incredibly strong record to run on and will continue to remind voters that he has kept every promise and will keep them again !

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany reassured voters that they should not be worried about exercising their right to vote in the November elections.
Though Democrats have proposed mail-in voting, there have been legitimate fears that it could lead to ballot harvesting.
There are many examples of ballot harvesting being linked to increased voter fraud.
“I think there’s a way to safely vote if you can safely protest,” McEnany told reporters.
Indeed, after George Floyd’s death, there have been countless protests across the nation.
We’ve all seen images of tens of thousands of protesters marching in the streets, shoulder to shoulder.
The reality is that with mitigation and proper protocols, we can ensure a safe election for everyone without jeopardizing the integrity of the results.
Watch McEnany’s spot-on comments below:

welovetrump--2020-06-13--BLOWOUT: Trump Oklahoma #MAGA Rally 300,000 Tickets Reserved for 19,000 Seat Venue

The # MAGA rally is so successful so far that the media is already trying to bash it .
They 're calling it dangerous because of coronavirus , even though they encouraged nationwide protests .
The media also tried to say that the Trump campaign is racist for holding the rally on `` Juneteenth . ''
However , it appears that this was a coincidence .
Furthermore , when the issue was raised , the Trump campaign changed the date of the rally out of respect .
If Trump is really as `` racist '' and `` heartless '' as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have changed the rally date .
But he did .
President Trump bowed to pressure on Friday night and announced that he would delay his upcoming campaign rally in Tulsa , Okla. , rather than hold it on the day that honors the end of slavery in the United States and is considered a major holiday by many African-Americans .
The rally was originally set for next Friday , or June 19 , the date known as Juneteenth , which marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Texas and read @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been freed , the last of the Confederate states to officially receive the news .
The Trump campaign ’ s decision to hold a rally on Juneteenth in Tulsa , the site of one of the country ’ s bloodiest outbreaks of racist violence , generated vociferous criticism amid the national reckoning over race and justice in the United States following the killing of George Floyd , a black man who died after a white police officer in Minneapolis pressed a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes .
In a Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said he would move the rally to June 20 instead .
“ We had previously scheduled our # MAGA Rally in Tulsa , Oklahoma , for June 19th — a big deal , ” he wrote .
“ Unfortunately , however , this would fall on the Juneteenth Holiday .
Many of my African American friends and supporters have reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out of respect for this Holiday , and in observance of this important occasion and all that it represents .
I have therefore decided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ June 20th , in order to honor their requests.
” Democrats pounced on the original timing to denounce Mr. Trump for disrespecting the concerns of those calling for major changes in American society to address racism and police violence .
The selection of Tulsa had also drawn complaints given its history as the site of a 1921 massacre by white mobs attacking black citizens and businesses with guns and explosives dropped from airplanes .
“ This isn ’ t just a wink to white supremacists — he ’ s throwing them a welcome @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of California said after the original announcement .
According to Republicans close to the president , the campaign was aware of the significance of the date once it announced the site but not before the site was selected .
Once it was done , the campaign decided to move ahead , announcing the date before its contract with the event venue in Tulsa was even finalized , people briefed on the events said .
The reality is that the campaign is just excited to be hosting rallies again .
Oklahoma is a safe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re-election campaign season before going into swing states , where protesters might attempt to disrupt the rally .
President Trump 's willingness to reschedule the event proves that he is aware of these issues and wants to make sure people know that he understands their concerns !

And from the History Channel, here is their Top 5:
1. The Lights Above the New Jersey Turnpike (2001)
It takes a lot for motorists to stop alongside a highway to look toward the sky, but on July 14, 2001, drivers on the New Jersey Turnpike did just that. For around 15 minutes just after midnight, they marveled at the sight of strange orange-and-yellow lights in a V formation over the Arthur Kill Waterway between Staten Island, New York, and Carteret, New Jersey. Carteret Police Department’s Lt. Daniel Tarrant was one of the witnesses, as well as other metro-area residents from the Throgs Neck Bridge on Long Island and Fort Lee, New Jersey near the George Washington Bridge.
Air-traffic controllers initially denied that any airplanes, military jets or space flights could have caused the mysterious lights, but a group known as the New York Strange Phenomena Investigators (NY-SPI) claimed to receive FAA radar data that corroborated the UFO sightings from that night.
2. The USS Nimitz Encounter (2004)
On November 14, 2004, the USS Princeton, part of the USS Nimitz carrier strike group, noted an unknown craft on radar 100 miles off the coast of San Diego. For two weeks, the crew had been tracking objects that appeared at 80,000 feet and then plummeted to hover right above the Pacific Ocean.
When two FA-18F fighter jets from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz arrived in the area, they first saw what appeared to be churning water, with a shadow of an oval shape underneath the surface. Then, in a few moments, a white Tic Tac-shaped object appeared above the water. It had no visible markings to indicate an engine, wings or windows, and infrared monitors didn't reveal any exhaust. Black Aces Commander David Fravor and Lt. Commander Jim Slaight of Strike Fighter Squadron 41 attempted to intercept the craft, but it accelerated away, re-appearing on radar 60 miles away. It moved three times the speed of sound and more than twice the speed of the fighter jets.
3. O’Hare International Airport Saucer (2006)
Flight 446 was getting ready to fly to North Carolina from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, when a United Airlines employee on the tarmac noticed a dark grey metallic craft hovering over gate C17. That day, November 7, 2006, a total of 12 United employees—and a few witnesses outside the airport—spotted the saucer-shaped craft around 4:15 p.m.
The witnesses say it hovered for about five minutes before shooting upward, where it broke a hole in the clouds—enough that pilots and mechanics could see the blue sky. The news report became the most-read story on The Chicago Tribune’s website to that date and made international news. However, because the UFO was not seen on radar, the FAA called it a “weather phenomenon” and declined to investigate.
4. The Stephenville Sightings (2008)
The small town of Stephenville, Texas, 100 miles southwest of Dallas, is mostly known for its dairy farms, but in the evening of January 8, 2008, dozens of its residents viewed something unique in the sky. Citizens reported seeing white lights above Highway 67, first in a single horizontal arc and then in vertical parallel lines. Local pilot Steve Allen estimated that the strobe lights “spanned about a mile long and a half mile wide,” traveling about 3,000 miles per hour. No sound was reported.
Witnesses believed the event was reminiscent of the Phoenix Lights sightings of 1997. While the U.S. Air Force revealed weeks later that F-16s were flying in the Brownwood Military Operating Areas (just southwest of Stephenville), many townspeople didn’t buy that explanation, believing that what they saw was too technologically advanced for current human abilities.
5. East Coast GO FAST Video (2015)
Leaked in 2017 along with the news of the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, was a video that revealed an encounter between an F/A-18 Super Hornet and an unidentified flying vehicle. Seen along the East Coast on a Raytheon Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) Pod, the craft was similar to that spotted off San Diego in 2004: a fast-moving white oval about 45-feet-long without wings or exhaust plume.
The pilots tracked the object at 25,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean as it flew away and simultaneously rotated on its axis. No explanation ever emerged.

23 years ago today, the people of Arizona witnessed one of the most infamous UFO incidents in history.
A new documentary series by filmmaker Seth Breedlove takes an in depth look into the so-called “Phoenix Lights.” On the Trail of UFOs doesn’t try to prove that the incident was aliens or flares, but instead expertly explores the cultural ramifications of the event on the UFO community.
“As an event, the Phoenix Lights is important simply because it gained so much media attention, was witnessed by so many people, and today, can still not be precisely explained away,” Breedlove told Motherboard. “Every year more witnesses come forward; from airline pilots to military personnel to ordinary people living from places as far removed as downtown Phoenix to Las Vegas.”
On March 13th, 1997, hundreds of Arizonans called their local law enforcement and a popular UFO reporting hotline to report a series of strange lights moving over their cities and towns. The Phoenix Lights case remains one of the largest UFO sightings in history, and continues to be an established fixture of contemporary UFO discourse.
At roughly 7:00 pm, people in northwestern Arizona began reporting a large craft passing overhead. According to the National UFO Reporting Center, the first call they received came in at 8:16pm from a retired police officer in Paulden, Arizona, a town about two hours north of Phoenix. He reported seeing a series of reddish lights arranged in a V-formation.
Over the next couple days, calls continued to pour in regarding the sighting of multiple lights in the sky, some arranged in the shape of a boomerang, and others as odd moving lights with tails and “fireballs.” Ron Regehr, a veteran UFO researcher with the Mutual UFO Network and a former engineer with Boeing and Northrop Grumman, told Motherboard in an interview that he was part of the team that helped in developing the Defense Support Program Satellites (DSP), a series of infrared sensing tactical satellites that detect the launch of missiles, space launches, and nuclear detonations.

On the Trail of UFOs follows podcaster and author Shannon LeGro into the murky and weird UFO world. While it explores several other cases, the series spends its time analyzing the UFO community and the people who claim to have encounters with the anomalous. Breedlove’s previous documentary work includes Terror in the Skies (2019), The Bray Road Beast (2018), and The Mothman of Point Pleasant (2017). Much like his previous work, Breedlove’s focus is on the individuals caught up in the event, and how it altered their lives instead of trying to ascertain whether aliens or monsters are real. As for the Phoenix Lights, Breedlove points out that “it’s a culturally important event because it illustrates how at-risk witnesses were of being ridiculed if they came forward.”


welovetrump--2020-06-13--Chicago Police Union President Says Cops Who Kneel May Be Thrown Out of Police Union

The NY Post had more on the story : The head of Chicago ’ s powerful police union said any cop in the city who takes a knee during George Floyd protests will be booted , according to a report .
John Catanzara , the new president of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police , said the gesture , seen throughout the nation during protests over Floyd ’ s death in police custody in Minneapolis , is tantamount to betrayal of the uniform , he told Fox32 Chicago .
“ I don ’ t believe it ’ s the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Catanzara told the station .
“ If you kneel , you ’ ll be risking being brought up on charges and thrown out of the lodge.
” “ Specifically this weekend , ” he said .
“ This was about defunding and abolishing the police officers .
And you ’ re going to take a knee for that ?
It ’ s ridiculous.
” Floyd ’ s May 25 death sparked worldwide calls for racial justice and denouncing police brutality , and has spawned a strong “ defund the police ” movement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and protestors .
Last week , one NYPD lieutenant issued an apology to the rank and file over his “ horrible decision ” to take a knee during the protests .
Asked about Catanzara ’ s comments , Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she wouldn ’ t “ dignify ” it with a response .

Cops in the Second City who are kicked out of the union can still remain on the job , but will not be guaranteed the contractual benefits negotiated between the city and the fraternal order , Fox32 said .
Catanzara , who took heat in 2017 for posting a Facebook photo in uniform with a sign supporting President Donald Trump and gun rights , said cops now kneeling for protestors are doing the same thing — just on the other end of the political spectrum .

welovetrump--2020-06-14--Trump Administration Reverts Federal Definition of “Sex” to Male or Female Based on Biology

The Family Research Council previously posted an informative piece on the subject that really gets to the bottom of why “ sex ” should be biologically based : “ The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological , immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth , ” the New York Times reported recently .
That means the Times only made it eight words into this sensationalized article before making its first factual error .
The Times simply assumed precisely what the administration rejects — namely , that the word “ gender ” is synonymous with “ sex.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the Trump administration is considering additional policy changes to standardize the meaning of the word “ sex ” in federal law and regulations .
The policy reportedly under consideration would define the word “ sex , ” particularly as a protected category in various nondiscrimination laws and policies , exclusively on the basis of biological characteristics evident at birth .
This would be a reversal of policies adopted by the Obama administration , which interpreted the word “ sex ” to encompass “ gender identity.
” Under this view , laws and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sex were interpreted as also protecting persons who identify as transgender against discrimination on the basis of their self-identified , psychological gender identity .
But members of Congress who prohibited discrimination ‘ on the basis of sex ’ in employment and public accommodations in 1964 , and in education in 1972 , did not have transgender identities in mind when they did so .
It should be perfectly clear that the original legislative intent , based on the plain meaning of the word sex as understood at the time , was to protect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or because they are men .
The reported Trump administration policy is merely a recognition of this fact .
If transgender activists want gender identity to be a protected category in the law , they need to persuade Congress to pass such a law .
In the past , Congress has voted to prohibit hate crimes motivated by the victim ’ s gender identity .
It has also included gender identity in the nondiscrimination provisions of the Violence Against Women Act to make clear that transgender people who are victims of domestic violence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Congress has repeatedly rejected proposals to add gender identity as a protected category in laws barring discrimination in employment or public accommodations ( such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ) , or to add it to laws against discrimination in education ( particularly Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 ) .
It is within the power of Congress to adopt laws treating gender identity as a privileged or special category .
The Family Research Council believes it would be unwise to do so , for it is a false @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confusion .
A biological definition of sex is also consistent with that used by the American Psychiatric Association : Biological indication of male and female ( understood in the context of reproductive capacity ) , such as sex chromosomes , gonads , sex hormones , and nonambiguous internal and external genitalia .
But either way , it is not within the legitimate power of either the executive or judicial branch of government to change the plain meaning of ordinary English words , merely to achieve a policy outcome they have not won through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what the Obama administration and a handful of federal courts ( but not the Supreme Court ) have attempted to do .

But either way, it is not within the legitimate power of either the executive or judicial branch of government to change the plain meaning of ordinary English words, merely to achieve a policy outcome they have not won through the democratic process. Yet this is what the Obama administration and a handful of federal courts (but not the Supreme Court) have attempted to do.
